What’s the particularity of —> BALOGNA ?

I’m urged to say, street art ! for I discovered this village only this summer; even though I had been around Vico many a time (and Murzo for that matter).

It’s very easy to miss the left turn to Balogna, when you’re driving out of Vico, so, watch out for it, if you decide to venture out there. A beautiful, quaint little village, with apparent stone houses, cobblestone streets … it appears to be comfortably nestled in the surroundings, and timeless – a valley, in other words, about 500m above sea level.
